Even in our modern world of highly developed technologies, where you can find out your baby’s gender very soon after you got pregnant, unexpectedness happens. One sweet couple from California was already preparing a room for a baby girl with sweet dragonfly wallpaper, when they found out they’re expecting a boy. They had to face a problem of redesigning their kid’s nursery to make it look at least more gender-neutral. Thanks to the talent and professionalism of Jennifer Jones from Niche Interiors the result turned out amazing. Dragonflies still adorn the walls, but together with dark wooden details and furniture, bold blue and orange accents nursery looks very playful, bright and at the same time simple and perfect for a baby boy. Enjoy the photos!

Thanksgiving Day is on its way and you probably have already started your preparations. Looking for cute and easy activities for your children while you are cooking? Let them make a whole gang of these turkey finger puppets for the family to love! The supplies list is extra short: foam sheets, scissors, glue and hole punch. Begin with grabbing your scissors and cutting out a circle and two holes for the fingers the way it’s shown on the pictures below. Then cut out some feathers and a beak out of the colored foam sheets. Punch out a couple of eyes from white foam. Next glue on the face to the front above the finger holes and glue on the foam feathers on the other side. Once it’s dry, it’s time for play!

Create this bunny with the kids and your children will forget about other toys! You will need cotton balls, felt, glue, buttons, pipe cleaner and toilet paper rolls. First of all gather all supplies.

When your bunny will be nice and fluffy it is time for the fun details. Add the ears to the inside of the paper roll and use buttons for the eyes and nose. The pipe cleaner whiskers will be the final touch. Ta-dah!

Scandinavian style with its unique, calm ambience fits perfectly a boy’s room design – today’s photos certainly prove that. Light floors, white walls and cool grey and black accents, very livable interior with clean lines… All of that is very functional, stylish and has some certain masculine and sort of restrained vibe that needs to be in a boy’s bedroom. I also love that there’re multiple windows, which is also one of the main features for Scandinavian style, because Swedes generally love a connection with the outdoors and lots of light. The room is really beautiful in its simplicity, and the style is just timeless. Take a look and get inspired!

No matter what style or theme we prefer, we all want our kids’ rooms to be inviting all in all. One of the best ways to make it like that is to let the light in the space and fill it with some colorful and playful accents. It all began from the flamingo wallpaper for baby Mila’s parents, which certainly made the room pop. For balance they added lots of cream, white accents that together with cheerful pink accents made the whole look of the room clean and contemporary, but most importantly inviting. I think the result turned out very feminine and lovely, but also not too sugary sweet. Take a look and be sure to Pin the photos to your board if you really enjoy the design!

Have you ever thought of a possibility of composing your own furniture? Not constructing it for hours and hours, until your patience will snap, like when you’re dealing with IKEA, but exactly composing your own, letting your creative juices flow. Thanks to the amazing folks Erik Olovsson and Kyuhyung Cho, who designed ROOM collection, it’s completely possible. ROOM consists of 25 blocks, variables, geometric shapes, stacking, a table and a mirror. It allows you to pick your own favorite elements to build up your own composition as a shelf, a table or even a sculpture. I think when it comes to a kid’s room, which has to change with child’s growth, the more multifunctional objects you have, the better. Be sure to check out the ROOM collection!
